British Paediatric Surveillance Unit

Many of our surveillance studies of infections and congenital
disorders rely on information that is gathered through the 3,000
paediatricians who participate in the British Paediatric Surveillance
Unit (BPSU) reporting scheme. The BPSU co-ordinates the collection of
UK-wide data on rare childhood conditions and uncommon infections.

The BPSU is a joint initiative between our Programme, the
Royal College of Paediatricians and Child Health (RCPCH) and the Health
Protection Agency (HPA) and includes a partnership with Health
Protection Scotland. The Institute is represented by Professor Carol Dezateux who is a member of the BPSU executive committee
